The Junon Underwater Reactor is a location in Final Fantasy VII. It is a Mako Reactor built underwater off the coast of Junon and provides power for Junon. It is a massive complex, going down to the bottom of the ocean floor and only accessible from a pathway in the center of Junon. The Underwater Reactor is also home to Shinra'ssubmarine base.

A newly stable Cloud Strife and his party storm the reactor in order to grab a Huge Materia before Shinra can use it. They fight their way down to the submarine dock, but the Turks manage to store the Materia onto a submarine before the party can reach it. To catch it, the party steals a submarine and chases after them. If the player wins the submarine minigame, the Huge Materia can be found on the Bottom of the Sea.

There is a dog that blocks a doorway that will only move if the player loses the submarine minigame (their sub will sink). In this case the can return to the Junon Underwater Reactor and find the dog has moved. The door the dog was guarding leads to another submarine dock from where the player can get another submarine: a red one.

On Disc 1, the random battles are available by pressing the alarm (after getting Buggy). From Disc 2 on, the random battles are available by pressing the alarm and normally (after Cloud returns from Mideel).

In the upper levels of the reactor plays "Hurry!" (急げ!, Isoge!?), but after descending down the elevator into the water tunnel, "In Search of the Man in Black" (黒マントの男を追え, Kuro Manto no Otoko o Oe?) plays. After finally taking one more elevator down and reaching the reactor proper, "Mako Reactor" (魔晄炉, Makō Ro?) plays. Once the Huge Materia is discovered, "Hurry!" plays once again, and continues until the party leaves the reactor.
